Uhhh dude Punter, That car raped the Integra's time on Tskuba race track. So really you don't know anything. And the advantage FF has over "4WD" is Corner Entry.

still just a Honda

Sadly, the car will probably never come State side... If it does, I'll be putting my '00 Type-R up for sale as soon as I can order one, haha. I'd love to have one of these cars.

Reported.

Also, I forgot to mention, tuners in the Honda community are getting near 600whp on completely stock K-Series... Apparently, CR isn't a problem for them. I hear those setups last quite long too.

974888, you don't need to run low CR to boost safely... Shep (Fastest non-tube chassis DSM) is running 10.5:1CR on almost 60psi. Granted, Methanol injection helps, but still, haha.

You've obviously never seen all motor K-Series that some of the Honda tuners have built... 220bhp is about 200whp. Mind you, tuners are getting 300whp ALL MOTOR, with no forced induction, on K-Series. The engine in this car is no where near it's potential.

I agree with Shinkaze on this one... Although an SH-AWD Civic Type-R would be great, it's kind of a contridiction of theory.

You're joking, right? How is this car a p**** version of the EVO? P**** versions of EVOs would be USDM Lancers, not Honda Civics, haha. I don't understand your viewpoint.
